Churches moving to online services, connecting with new people

Pastor Wayne Larson filming his Apr. 5 sermon for an online church service.

With social distancing and self isolation limiting the amount of time church goers can spend in their places of worship, Bruderheim Community Church has found a way to reach the congregation minus a traditional gathering every Sunday morning.

“One of our members suggested going online with service every Sunday morning,” said Bruderheim Community Church pastor Wayne Larson. “So, we created a youtube channel and upload videos every week.”

Larson added that the response has been very positive.

“Our members have given us very good feedback. It’s really kept the communication channels open,” he said. “I have been calling our members on a rotational basis, particularly our seniors and vulnerable members in retirement homes that can’t be visited. I know other members of our congregation have been doing the same.”

Larson also mentioned that in spite of the social distancing guidelines, acts of service are still being honoured.

Larson included that technology has been an incredible help in keeping the church connected to its members.

“I am grateful we are still able to connect in spite of the pandemic,” said Larson. “It concerns me to see groups continue to congregate in spite of the distancing regulations. I think we need to be an example to our members.”
